About this episode

This Book explores the largely forgotten history of women's involvement with automobiles in the early 20th century, examining their experiences across Britain, the United States, and Australia. It reveals how women overcame societal expectations and technological barriers to become drivers, mechanics, and entrepreneurs in the automotive industry. The text analyzes how women's participation challenged prevailing gender roles and notions of technological expertise. Furthermore, the book connects women's motoring experiences to broader social and political movements, such as suffrage campaigns and the changing landscape of industrial labor. Finally, it highlights the diverse ways in which women's engagement with automobiles shaped their identities and contributed to national narratives.
